The favorable verdict of the English
tin commission, who have recently
inspected the tin deposits of the South
ern Hills, and who, prior to their ar
rival, were disposed to credit the fallaci-
Gus statements of Tom White, would
seem to be sufficient 10 satisfy every
body Of their valuable character, and
yet there appears to be at least one
paper in Deadwood that notably ad-
heres to the thin theory, that Thomas
hath spoken wisely, and that the tin
deposits Of the Southern Hills have
really no commercial value. The course
pursued by this paper, with reference to
the tin interests Of the Southern Hills,
betokens a species Of journalism as rare
as it is inexplicable, which is rendered
doubly inconsistent by its lack of con-
s~ervatism in treating mining interests
neare home, which are held to be of
inestimable value upon evidence far less
satisfactory than that which is unmis-
takably shown in connection with the
tin deposits referred to, which are now
pronounced by competent judges to he
the most valuable yet discovered upon
the face of the earth.

The London Financial News, the
paper that inaugurated the trouble with
reference to the Harvey Peak tin deal
in England, now says that the United
States will be set ahead five years,
should the English commission, who
recently visited the Hills, report favor.
ably. AS a favorable report is now as
sured, the News NAV as well commence
now to look for a soft place to light. 1t
is very gratifying to think, that in due
time. the newspapers which have been
upholding the Deadwood expert (?) on
either side Of the Atlantic, will all take
a tumble.

A leading theme Of conversation at
Buffalo Gap and other points in Custer
and Fall River counties at this time, is
the marked reduction in the price of
boots and shoes at r. Z. Thompson's,
which fairly astonishes everybody who
call and price these goods. Mr.. Thomp-
son has achieved the reputation of sell
ing everything in his line, consisting in
part Of boots and shoes, barb wile,
choicest brands Of Sioux City -four, and
Consolidated Tank Line Oil in cases, at
prices which border closer upon the bed
rock than any other dealer in the Hills.
Being agent for the manufacturers of
the goods he handles, may account for
the astonishing inducements offered by
this popular Buffalo Gap dealer.
